Use a hose, string, or marking spray to outline your design. Natural shapes like bean, wave, or spiral work well. Measure the full perimeter to calculate brick needs.
Dig a trench along the marked line: 10–15 cm deep, 20 cm wide
Add a 5 cm layer of gravel or limestone screening
Compact firmly for stability
Set the bricks edge-to-edge, following the shape
Leave a 1 cm gap between each for curve flexibility
Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to level
Cut or angle bricks for tight curves if needed
Use landscape adhesive to bond bricks
Or sweep in polymeric sand for extra tightness
Lay landscape fabric to prevent weeds
Fill with topsoil to 25–30 cm depth, sloped for drainage
Ready for planting!
For smoother curves, use shorter bricks (30 cm) with minimal spacing
Don’t skip the gravel base – it prevents settling over time
Consider stacking two brick layers for raised beds over 25 cm high
Add compost or mulch on top for improved nutrients and appearance
